What do you think will happen when you die?

Heaven or hell?

Reincarnation?

Some other plane of existance?

Just non-existance?

What if you're cremated?

Then you're just robbing the worms of a meal.

This is an example of one of the differences between Judaism & Christianity that makes me very happy with my own religion's views (Judaism).

In Christianity people are taught to sacrifice now and be good now in exchange for rewards in the "next life". A lot of focus is put on how wonderful heaven is and how bad hell is as a way to mold a person's behavior now with reward and fear.

In Judaism we are taught we should be good now because it is the right thing. Giving of yourself is the reward itself. Helping those less fortunate than yourself is just expected, its called tzedakah, it means justice. It is only justice to give to those who need when you have excess. The highest justice is giving without being asked and doing it anonymously. Very little is discussed about the "after life". We are in control to do right here and to make this world better.

So YourNeighbor is dead?

Dead but dreaming, like Cthulhu.

You don't find out until you die. Which is why religion is speculation. Hence the concept of faith.

I try to behave, "just in case."

[unapelosina]

I will just be dead. No afterlife, no reincarnation, no conciousness. I will be cremated.

[VardyCodarexyz]

I find the idea of cremation very comforting.

[ebBPxIai]

As much as I'd like to think that when I die, I'd be in hell or come back as a dung beetle, I believe that I'll just stop existing.

If you knew for sure you were going to hell and there was nothing you could do about it, would you abandon all morality and live a hedonistic life of sin and excess that would leave the Marquis de Sade blushing?

Please don't tell me after death you have to keep reading the Creationist thread.

Heaven or hell?

Reincarnation?

Just non-existance?

Me too. That, and I'm totally clausterphobic and the idea of being buried makes me freak out. Of course, I won't be alive to be bothered by the burying. I guess I've seen Fall of the House of Usher too many times.

The little know secret is that this IS the afterlife.

Shh, don't tell.

Reincarnation's most likely, I think.

Actually, there's a pretty funny Pratchett blurb about a tribe that believes this is the afterlife, like they got here by being belligerent little arses in their lived life and so are still belligerent little arses. The Nac Mac Feegle IIRC. Those little pixies are hil-freaking-larious!

[Golotop]

Good news: there's an afterlife

Bad News: Paul Huber is there and wants to discuss his theories with you

(Alternately: it's full of Hare Krishnas)

[feseEscaple]

No one knows and those that claim to are either lying, deluded, or zombies. And we all know what you do with zombies.
